Can patches be distributed after the release of a SecuROM&#153-protected title?

Yes. If you wish to release a patch of a protected title, updated executables can be encrypted using the same project on the SecuROM&#153 server that was used with the original release. The patch can be tested and then released. The authentication routine for the patch will be the same as for the original. An added benefit to re-encryption of an executable for patch release is the ability to take advantage of any updates to the security or compatibility of SecuROM&#153 made since the original title release.
